Changing my way of thinking.

   As most of you know that since we've moved we've had our share of challenges and yes, it's so hard to NOT focus on all the things that have gone wrong and just things that we've struggled with. I mean it's really hard to not think about our drain backing up 4 different times, the basment flooding, spending all day trying to unclog the toilet, fixing the car, needing new tires for the car immediately, so far I think that's everything....for now. So I'm trying really hard to focus on the good things that have happened and everything that we've been blessed with. We have a great house for hosting small group, cook outs or just having friends come and visit for the weekend, we live in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Lamar has a great job that has allowed him to work from home and has also allowed me to be a stay at home mom, although there are some days that I wish I did have a job. We have 2 healthy kids that are bursting with energy, I have some pretty great friends who even though we've moved, they've definitely stayed in touch and made the effort to keep the friendship going. And most of all, I have God in my life and no matter what He's always going to take care of us, no matter what happens. He's never let me down so why would He start now. I think the coolest thing is that even though we have all these extra bills right now, it always seems that we have enough money in the bank to cover those bills for that month, so thank you God :) It's so easy to sit back and focus on all the things that seem to be going wrong in your life, but after I have my little sulking moment , I'm always reminded that it could be worse.
